Honda Accord: the premium diesel

Honda Accord 2.2 i-CTDi Sport 4dr

What is it?

A revelation when it was launched in 2002, the Accord is still a fine package with a premium feel and good looks. Rivals have narrowed the quality gap in recent years and the range is somewhat limited, but the 2.2-litre diesel remains one of the best diesels in the class.

What’s hot?

• Refinement of the diesel engine
• Premium feel and legendary reliability
• Sharp handling
• Decent equipment levels including satnav

What’s not?

• Four-door or estate bodies only
• Limited engine and trim range
• Rear legroom is tight
• Tyre noise is intrusive with larger wheels

Business Car Manager Road Test Rating

Not the newest or most exciting offering in the class, but the Accord does offer a premium drive at a mainstream price.
